The preschool is fantastic! The teachers and staff are loving and nurturing and teach so much more than just the basics. It is great to hear songs about Jesus and how is our savior. Our son loves going to school and we have enrolled in Kindergarten. He can't wait for school to start in August.

The preschool program is fantastic. The program is grounded in Christ with Bible stories included in each session. In addition our son has brought home some wonderful art projects and enjoys the movement class.
